Still my favorite spot in Tokyo, thanks to a friend who shared with me this last summer. I spent my last sunset in Japan sitting here, smoking a cigarette in the cold.
The first week back here has been pretty hectic, busy signing up for Japanese language classes, job hunting, redecorating my room - it's a ritual I do anywhere I go if I plan to stay for a long period of time, it just makes me feel more at ease, unpacking with constant disturbance from H on my phone telling me about his latest obsession - tabasco sauce (inside joke), of course, accompanied by watching lynch. and Rollin' parody by Crystal Lake on my teevee.
Weirdly, I barely had time to myself. So when I did, I just didn't feel like talking to anyone but just be completely alone in this silence looking for inspiration.
It's a weird feeling always coming back, I don't know how to take it but I'm going to make full use of the time here to do something productive. I always get distracted by so many things in Japan. Don't get me wrong, I love it with all my heart but sometimes, just sometimes, I wish I could discipline myself to commit to my art. I still don't know when I'm going back but I'm sure it'll always be sooner than I expect it to be. Till then, I have my room for sanctuary and I always feel accomplished decorating it. :)
